cooking

1. Thinly slice the flank steak into strips (be sure to slice against the grain). 
2.  Place steak strips in a large bowl. Add cornstarch and toss to coat. 
3.  Add thinly sliced carrots and bell peppers to the crockpot and add the steak.
4. In a bowl, combine beef broth, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, tamari, and hot sauce and stir to combine.
5. Pour the sauce into the crockpot and stir to coat. Cook on low for 6 hours.
6. Prior to serving, stir in a bag of cooked, steamed broccoli.
7. Taste and adjust seasonings. You can add salt, add more hot sauce or even sprinkle with garlic powder for a stronger garlic flavor.
8. Serve over rice and top with green onions.

Notes:

• You can substitute chicken broth for beef broth.
• You can substitute soy sauce for tamari.
• If you want to use fresh broccoli, just throw it in for the last hour or so of cooking!
